- febootstrap-to-initramfs DIR > initrd.img
+ febootstrap-to-initramfs [--files=filelist] DIR > initrd.img
=head1 DESCRIPTION
(see the discussion of fakeroot logfile in the L<febootstrap(8)>
page). You do I<not> need to run this command as root.
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item --files=filelist
+
+C<filelist> should be a file containing a list of the files to be
+added to the initramfs (one per line). Only those files are added and
+any others are ignored.
+
+When the C<--files> option is not given, all files in C<DIR> are added
+to the initramfs image.
+
+=item --nocompress
+
+This prevents the initramfs image from being compressed.
+
+Linux can boot from uncompressed initramfs images (in fact, faster),
+but they take up a lot more space on disk.

=head1 /init
Normal initramfs images start by executing the program or script
called C</init>. febootstrap does not create this script, so you may
wish to, particularly for very minimal bootstraps that don't have the
-normal SysVinit/upstart machinery.
+normal SysVinit/upstart machinery. It's also required if the kernel
+cannot find a "real" root filesystem (the root filesystem that we
+built and placed in an initramfs doesn't count).
Linux will try to run the following commands in turn, unless you
override it using the C<init=I<cmd>> kernel option:
